Dissolving Finasteride in Ethanol?

Sherman Frankel suggests (here) that Proscar can be dissolved in ethanol if someone using finasteride for hair loss wanted more precise dosage. I have read this on the website HairlossTalk.com as well. Currently I am using Proscar 1 mg a day with no side effects but I am concerned that my dosages are not as precise as they could be. Also if I ever wanted to wean off the drug when I stop using it I could never cut the Proscar tablet smaller than 0.5 mg.

Do you have thoughts about dissolving Proscar in hard alcohol for consistent dosage? My pharmacist and doctor do not know the answer.

Seriously, is cutting a pill in quarters that hard?! It does not have to be an exact science as long as you take it everyday.

I do not see anything wrong with dissolving the pill in ethanol, but I would think it would be more of a hassle… unless you are looking for a reason to take a shot with your medication. Plus the article you referenced discusses dissolving finasteride so that you can take 0.2mg daily instead of the recommended 1mg dose.
